When trying to think of something tangible to demonstrate the basic concept of trust here, I naturally thought of something that we’ve probably all seen, at least on television..
..the ‘trust game’.
One person allows him or herself to fall backward from some height, trusting that the people standing behind will catch them, like so:
This is an excellent demonstration of trust, not only of the ‘faller’ but of the ‘catchers’ as well.
The faller must trust that everyone behind him will stand the proper distance apart, with arms properly extended and knees properly braced for absorbing his weight. He must trust that one or more of them will not step away at the last second, from fear or reflex or plain meanness. He must also trust that this little experiment works…because he’s seen it on television, too.
The people standing behind are usually not considered in this part of the equation, but I believe that they are putting just as much trust in the faller as he is putting in them. The catchers must trust that the faller will not panic and fling out his arms and legs dangerously; they must trust that the people around them will not step away, leaving them with an impossible burden; they must even trust that, in the event of an unfortunate accident, the faller will not single them out for his misfortune.

You may be wondering what my point is. And then again, you may not..
not if you’re a spanko.
We invest an immense amount of trust in one another, tops and bottoms, playmates and buddies.
If you’re one of my playmates, you’ve likely received a hearty ‘Thank You!’ from me – for the trust that you’ve placed in me, in so many ways. I simply cannot say it enough.
(And while most of you tend more to flop forward than fall back, it is always my distinct pleasure to catch you.)
If you’re a contributor to this blog, you’ve trusted me with your thoughts, writings, artworks, and opinions. If you’re a reader, you’ve trusted me with your time. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.

Trust is an interesting thing..
We trust airplanes, and cars we drive, and driving along the road, but why?
Do we sit and talk to the pilots, the engineers, all the people on the road?
So what is it that we trust..
If we cannot sit and talk and make the judgement that way, how can we trust..
2 years ago i went to a play area, after talking with the lady on the phone..seeing adverts, reviews
We talked, we agreed red yellow and green, and my quit word..and everything seemed fine.
Then she went and abused that trust so badly, that it was only because i could get out of a restraint that i managed to end it..
So even after talking to this lady, she lost my trust, and i haven’t really been able to trust anybody since.
So why am i trusting to put this here..Reviews are brilliant, the videos are fantastic, the lady herself, Dana, is stunning..
Sometimes trust cannot be seen, or heard, sometimes trust is a judgement call.
Sorry about the ramble above..and getting deep..
And thank you Dana for showing me i can trust again..
Quote that i like..
we are never so vulnerable than when we trust someone – but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.
Michael..
It’s quite something, isn’t it, the way so many people are speaking so freely about stuff that has always been a huge secret – courtesy of the internet. There is a great deal of trust around that, I do believe.
Your site is fabulous. You make a mean video. Thank you.
